Looking for any info on this vase, I would describe it as made in a naive or crude fashion (lovely though) with a wobbly rim, lots of fine bubbles or ash in the glass, rough pontil and crudely punched out burnished metal banding.A little like (but only a little) Wiktor Berndt's tribal designs.

This *could* be by Wiktor Berndt for Flygsfors - he certainly designed items like this with the metal additions and the glass bulging through the holes HOWEVER there was also a company in Mexico making similar items (although of a much poorer quality).

Thank you Pip, I would think that Mexican origins might be a better bet, the quality or 'clarity' of the glass would push my thinking in that direction. I have never had the good fortune to handle any of Wiktor Berndt's work so I have little to judge this vase against. I have only had it for a week or two but it is really growing on me, I do like it's naivety.If any one out there has any of Berndt's Tribal designs it would be interesting to know of the clarity of the glass used.
